DVT = deep venous thrombosis; NSTEMI = non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction; PE = pulmonary embolism; RR = relative risk; STEMI = ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction; TIA = transient ischemic attack.

a

Values are No. of patients (%).

b

Septic arthritis within 30 days of surgery.

c

Reoperation on affected hip within 1 year of surgery.

d

Patients could have more than 1 complication. In the clopidogrel cohort, 12 patients had 17 complications. In the control cohort, 18 patients had 21 complications.

NR: Relative risk not reported since either no patient in the clopidogrel cohort or no patient in the control cohort had the outcome of interest
